Chapter 134 Machine Gun Enlisted in the Army

Xiao Lin's salary is not that easy to get. Twenty-seven engineers with backward skills from major arsenals in the United States are now three times their salary. Each person's monthly welfare and salary combined is about 150,000 yuan. In China, many people have annual salary for a year. Since they receive this generous reward, they naturally have to do things well. The engineers also understand that this can also be said to be Xiao Lin's territory. At any time, he can ask Zalkam people to pull them out and die, and no one will know.

Of course, Xiao Lin did not show any sign of this now. However, Yu Xiao and Qu Jun had nothing to do. They often hinted at them intentionally or unintentionally and urged these people quietly. After ensuring a basic rest, all engineers put in 120,000 yuan. After half a year and five months, they changed and repaired, and finally completed the production process improvement of the m1917a1 Browning (water-cooled) heavy machine gun and the Czech zb-26 light machine gun.

The standard light and heavy machine guns produced in the first batch of arsenals have been placed in the underground test range of the arsenal. Among these weapons, there are 120 light machine guns, and the heavy machine guns are only 36 because of the complex production process. The equipment installation and improvement are not very good, and this is the factory's production capacity for one and a half months. Moreover, several skilled operators have been poured out for this, and this production efficiency cannot be guaranteed in the next few months.

Fortunately, it can meet the firepower requirements of ten light machine guns and three heavy machine guns in a battalion. Light machine gun bullets can be used with rifle bullets. During this period, as well as those accumulated before, there have been more than three million rounds, and each heavy machine gun has about 30,000 rounds of bullets. With subsequent productivity, it should be enough for combat in the 18th century. The heavy machine gun uses 12.7 caliber steel-core bullets, which are not replaceable by the 7.62 mm caliber bullets that are commonly used in the company.

This is also to enhance the shooting power of heavy machine guns. The 12.7-caliber heavy machine gun is enough to pose a huge threat to the enemy's wooden walls and Iroquois bulletproof shields. It can block the defense facilities of 7.62mm caliber bullets. As long as it is not specially set up for anti-aircraft guns, it basically cannot prevent the 12.7-caliber heavy machine guns from firing the Adams family's ancestral land in Lexington Town. If there were heavy machine guns, the soldiers would not have to risk their lives to break the windows outside with machine guns.

However, there were very few bullets, with a total of 360,000 rounds, which could only satisfy one or ten thousand rounds. The bullets tested had a bullet link, one hundred and fifty rounds. Xiao Lin immediately bought a plane ticket to the Republic of Belan. He bought too many air tickets, and he had a 100,000 rounds. He thanked him for taking care of other people's business. He went to the arsenal without stopping, and everyone was waiting for them to come to inspect the goods in person.

Xiao Lin did not talk nonsense, and adjusted his mental state and immediately started weapon testing. The light machine gun shot ten magazines, and the specific performance reached 99% of the design performance. A small flaw did not have much impact. As the workers became proficient in the process, this one-percent gap would slowly disappear. For heavy machine guns, there was no sign of much of a magazine, but the performance was also more than 95% of the design performance.

Xiao Lin just came to receive it first. There were not many bullets, so he could only pull the troops into the army and let the soldiers fight, train and weapon performance tests together. That night, all the machine guns and bullets were transported by Xiao Lin to the North American continent in late winter of 1718. Time slowly reached the second year of the Spring Festival, and the company is now preparing for the Spring Festival celebration. However, the soldiers of the guards were not interested in these things, and Christmas was still one week away.

Finally, the troops of the British Indian tribe were cleared and returned here when Xiao Lin returned to the company. Under Xiao Lin's arrangement, each battalion received its own unique light machine guns and heavy machine guns. The soldiers who had used rotary machine guns were not unfamiliar with this kind of large weapons that were continuously fired. However, although they were all continuous machine guns, these two light machine guns and heavy machine guns were still not as advanced as roulette machine guns. The soldiers were a little confused. Since there were more advanced weapons, how could they have to be equipped with backward equipment?

This is not because Xiao Lin didn't want to prepare the goods for them, but because of the reel-wheeled machine guns. Now the whole country has found these 30. Don't say that the parts are produced, even the manufacturing process has been sealed for decades. If you didn't purchase tens of thousands of yuan, people would never restart it for you. Tens of thousands of yuan of reel-wheeled machine guns, it would be an extremely difficult task to get approval documents. It is even impossible.

Moreover, there are not ten thousand soldiers in the company's guard team. Do you have to hold a rotating machine gun? Xiao Lin is not that vast yet. He can't build it himself and can't get the craftsmanship. Even now the arsenal does not have the ability to produce it, so he naturally has to choose suitable weapons and equipment. After taking the weapons, he replenished bullets and mortar shells, the ten battalions separated and headed towards their own attack targets.

With the addition of machine gun fire, Xiao Lin was very relieved about the ten battle battalions that had been established for several months at the latest. They had experienced formal combat. Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Four Battalions, the four British settlements with the worst attack and defense. These four settlements are not even a town, and they can only be considered large villages at most. The population is only 3,000, and the militia troops are only 500. The first to fifth battalions, and the Ye Xiao Special Reconnaissance Battalions, deal with the six British settlements with a population of more than 5,000 and the militia troops are about 1,000.

These ten places were carefully selected by Xiao Lin. Some were the outer strongholds of the British colony, and some were the second-tier British colony settlements. If these ten settlements were captured, even if the Charles family and the trader tribe could not make a contribution, the entire British defense line against the company would be completely broken. It can be said that if the Hessian mercenaries under Adolf were not transferred back, the British would have no way to deal with the company's guards for the time being.

The engineers compiled a sufficiently detailed manual for light and heavy machine gun control. Along the way, the soldiers who were selected to operate machine guns, who were carried by bicycles and motorcycles, studied carefully. A week later, all the troops were in place regardless of gasoline consumption. Everyone stopped about ten miles outside the British settlement, which was far away for the British who still used war horses. However, for the guard soldiers who used bicycles and gasoline motorcycles, they could attack the settlement in less than half an hour.

Christmas is a very important festival for white people. Christmas is also called Christmas. The birth of Jesus is translated as "Christ Mass". A traditional Western festival originated from Christianity and is on December 25 every year. Mass is a liturgy of the church. Christmas is a religious festival. Because it is celebrated as the birth of Jesus, it is called "Christmas". Nowadays, Europe has long been unified by the Catholic Church.

In the Middle Ages, what the Christian Pope said was more effective than the kings and the rulers of the kings and the rulers of the principalities. To this day, even the poor white families would buy some food that they would not want to bear on their daily lives on this day, and have a good holiday together. As for the company, with Xiao Lin's efforts, they did not pay much attention to Christmas. On the contrary, they prefer the Spring Festival.

During Christmas, the company will not have any benefits. You can spend money to buy things by yourself. Christmas trees are well-made and beautiful, but they are so expensive. The factory does not have holidays. Unless you take a resuming off, otherwise you will have to absent from work or pretend to be sick and ask for leave. If you pretend to be sick and ask for leave, the factory will also send a factory doctor to help you treat you, but you can't hold it. If you absent from work, it will be awful. If you report criticism, you will have to deduct wages, and the Spring Festival bonuses will be deducted.

The Spring Festival is different. The company collectively arranges holidays, which will take five days at a time. Each unit has to deliver New Year’s goods, including food, clothing, and a generous year-end bonus. Whether it is white or Indian, they are not idiots with IQs below 60. In this comparison, it is natural that there is a concern in which festival to celebrate. You can also use the radio to listen to various programs played by the company during the Spring Festival. English songs are combined with the clips of the Spring Festival Gala, and people who don’t have many cultural and entertainment activities at this time are intoxicated.

However, the warriors of Christmas will naturally not affect their morale because of the arrival of this festival. On the contrary, they can use the luxury of this nobleman to live the life of the civilians tightening their belts and launching a sudden attack on the enemy. The British really have no idea. The Indians do not have the ability to attack them. Other white countries have to celebrate Christmas. On this day, even the front-line battlefields of Britain and France tacitly ceased each other and celebrated various festivals.

It was 8:30 pm, and at this time, the white people began to prepare for Christmas celebrations. Although it was early and it was not very dark, the time was already very ripe. The soldiers made a list of tables and decided that the time for the plan was up, and immediately left the hiding place and began to move towards the target of attack. Each battalion commander encouraged the soldiers first.

"Comrades, from this moment on, our company can only be on the world stage..."
